STRIKE THREE: The reservoirs providing water to San Francisco and the rest of California are not empty. They are above capacity due to more than average rainfall for the last two years, and under Governor Newsom, a new reservoir is being built in California, the largest to be built in the United States in the last fifty years. Since Newsom only has two years left to serve as governor, It will be completed after he’s not governor any longer, since it can take a decade or more to build a large reservoir legally and properly.
Most of what people hear about DEI is extreme right MAGA fascist lies.
Guess what: Canada, Mexico, and some of the other states sent help to fight those LA fires, but FELON47 and his MAGA stooges in Congress refused. The prefer to lie and blame Newsom, because Newsom like California have to be punished for not support FELON47.

Hetch Hetchy Reservoir: Located in Yosemite National Park, this reservoir is the main source of water for San Francisco. It's fed by the Tuolumne River and snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada.
This question is not a riddle. It’s propoganda pretending to be a question.
During his first four years becoming a traitor, FELON47’s last budget cut for the wealthiest 1%, will “add a combined $8.4 trillion to the debt over the next ten-year period.” The current US debt has reached more than $36 trillion.

States balance their budgets by ensuring that their expenditures don't exceed their available resources. This is done by:
KQED — This public media organization aims to create a culture of equity, belonging, and human dignity.
In October 2022, reservoirs were at 68% of average, at the height of the last drought.
Economic opportunity — Addressing racial inequity in the Bay Area could add billions of dollars to the economy.
Considering demographic variables: States may consider demographic variables like the number of school-age children, the number of youth, and the number of elderly.
Think of it this way, take all the traffic at rush hour on a freeway with 8 lanes, and send that traffic to a two lane road, one lane for each direction. What happens? Water pipes can’t expand to carry more water just like a two lane road can’t add six more lanes in a moment to handle increased traffic.

“What percentage of the US budget goes toward the military? In 2023, defense spending made up 13.3% of the federal budget. Since 1980, the percentage of federal spending for the military has fluctuated between a height of 27.9% in 1987 and lows of 11% in 2020 and 2021.
Paying off the HUGE federal debt like this one isn’t going to be easy. Still, as long as that debt is there, it is a threat that could destroy the U.S. economy.

Why DEI is important in San Francisco
STRIKE ONE: Budget cuts. States must balance their budgets. To cut the budget means cutting programs that benefit the people who live in the state. The largest share of state spending goes to education – more than 50 cents out of every state dollar supports California's public schools, community colleges, and public university systems.
Race
Maybe if FELON47 gets what he wants and becomes the dictator he said he is going to be, he will turn California and San Francisco red by having his fascist MAGA thugs round up and execute the elected Democrats and replace them with Trump loyalists who are race car drivers and coaches like he said he’s going to do to the US military so they obey his every command like nuke hurricanes and China, while invading Canada, Greenland, and Panama, starting World War III.
Hispanic: 5.1% in December 2024
Still, that doesn't mean that one day San Francisco won’t elect a Republican mayor and city council. But it won’t be because of budget cuts, DEI, or empty reservoirs.
Evaluating spending programs: States may evaluate which spending programs are most effective and provide the most value for taxpayers.
The truth. There’s plenty of water in California at this time, but the pipes between the reservoirs and those wildfires can only supply so much water at a time, and these wildfires are so fierce they overwhelmed the ability of the pipes to supply enough water fast enough. And the high winds grounded aircraft from dropping water on those fires.
STRIKE TWO: DEI — Those who think DEI is reverse discrimination have been lied to by FELON47 and his enablers again. San Francisco had the fastest-growing GDP of any US city in 2024. That wouldn’t have happened if employers were forced to hire workers who weren’t qualified for the jobs available.
San Francisco Symphony — This organization has examined its own power dynamics, privilege, and discrimination to create a more inclusive environment.
“A riddle is a question or statement that is intentionally phrased to be difficult to answer or understand. Riddles are often used as a fun way to challenge people's thinking skills.”
Gender
Building reserves: States may build rainy day funds to cover unexpected budget gaps.
California's reservoirs are currently in good shape, with levels above average after two wet winters. However, the state's water managers must balance flood control with preparing for possible droughts.
The largest budget item for the federal government, on the other hand, is defense spending, while, according to the U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data, approximately 3% of the federal budget is allocated to education, training, employment, and social services, which includes spending on education.
Current status
Limiting revenue increases: States may limit revenue increases to avoid losing taxpayers.
Again, more lies from FELON47 and his MAGA cult that California ran out of water and can’t fight the wildfires in Los Angeles County, blaming Governor Newsom.
California has the largest state population in the United States. That means more revenue and more people with more infrastructure to maintain and public services to provide. One of those public services is the public education system in California.

San Francisco population: 808,988 (2023) — San Francisco is a diverse city with a minority-majority population. The racial makeup of San Francisco includes White, Asian, African American, Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander people.
San Francisco residents value diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and believe it's a key part of the city's culture. DEI efforts are underway in many San Francisco organizations, including schools, media, and the symphony.
In November 2023, major reservoirs were at 124% of average.
Asian — In 2020, 34.3% of San Francisco's population was Asian. In 2022, Asian (Non-Hispanic) residents were the second most common ethnic group.
